Associated SM Higgs boson searches with ATLAS

The associated SM Higgs production channels are those with the lowest production cross sections at the LHC. Nevertheless, in the low Higgs mass range up to ~ 130 GeV, production together with a pair of t-quarks is the most promising channel to detect a Higgs boson that decays into a pair of b-quarks...

Sumario:The associated SM Higgs production channels are those with the lowest production cross sections at the LHC. Nevertheless, in the low Higgs mass range up to ~ 130 GeV, production together with a pair of t-quarks is the most promising channel to detect a Higgs boson that decays into a pair of b-quarks, due to the distinct signature of the tt system. Furthermore, all associated production channels can contribute to measurements of the Higgs boson's Yukawa and gauge couplings. The talk presents a Monte Carlo study of the channel ttH, H->bb in the semi-leptonic final state at the ATLAS experiment. In addition, the results of feasibility studies that have been performed for ttH / WH, H-> WW are briefly summarized.
